Hi, I was thinking of running this one. Only done one 10k as I'm fairly new to running. I started road running in June, having only previously run on the treadmill. Have another 10k race coming up at end of November but can't wait until then feel like I need to do another race before then. Yes I am already addicted!

How would you rate this rate for newbies? My best 10k so far in training is 57 mins.

From my experience of running this (twice), there was a really nice atmosphere during this whole race BECAUSE it was just women - less of a competitive feel or something. As Helen says, there are a lot of local ladies who run, but don't want to race in big events where there are (they think) lots of fast people...this race seems to give some of them the incentive to join in, then maybe do more races/ join a club after.

Hi Guys, we sponsor this event along with the running club who put the event on. looking forward to seeing loads of you there....entries are comming in thick and fast but there are still places available.

in response to Wilkie's post womens running is a massively growing area and we are happy to support it, a lot of the ladies who enter this race would not enter mixed races as they feel intimidated by the some of the male runners. I see it as a good thing and I am all in favour of promoting something a little new.
